55All equipment and the field were super clean and tidy. We appreciated the fresh water that was available and the lidded bucket designed for collecting used poo bags.
Friendly and informative contact with the hosts.

55My dog and I used this spot last weekend and it was very nice.
My priority was good fencing as I have a reactive pitbull, a great nature with the family and home but can be reactive to people and dogs. I broke my ankle a number of months ago and am still recovering and can't walk long distances yet. So while there is a number of good quality and well designed obstacles for those looking for them, I loved the open field part where I could use a ball thrower to really get him running which is what he needed.
A nice touch with water bowl and additional water which came in handy. A well thought out area.
The roads getting there weren't too bad either for a rural setting.
I briefly met the hosts who were friendly and welcoming.
I will definitely be taking my dog there again and thank the hosts for making such a nice space available for our dogs.David O.

55Perfect spot for my dog to build confidence. The agility equipment is more geared towards large/agile dogs, which was perfect for us. It's on a fair slope so easy exercise throwing tennis ballsZuzanna B.

55Very peaceful spot. Fencing is fine for dogs. Cows mooing. Creeks. Lots of sniffing spots for the dog, even a bunny & Pukekohe to chase for the dog. Is safe for them to just wander & explore. Nice & calm to just sit down & enjoy the fresh air for me too. Really enjoyed thank you!Ann M.
